    Been to this location a few times and always got the premium Jasmine Milk Tea and it's DELICIOUS. If I can give this place a 4.5 stars I would. The only reason why I'm only docking a star off is because the entrance/doorway is always so crowded and it can be confusing as to who is waiting to order via the kiosk or the ones who are waiting to pick up their order, and going in and out the door. Feels like it's a safety hazard with all of the crowds. You order on the kiosk and enter in your phone number and it will give you a number to pick up. While you wait you can see the number on the screen that your drink is ready. Besides the crowd, the drink itself is VERY good. It is so light and not sweet at all. I've always finished the drink in less than 30 minutes and always want more haha. I love that the caffeine has not kept me up (which is great). I wish they would have MORE locations all around! It's my most favorite tea place ever!

    First time here. Jasmine apple milk with white pearls was nice. Service was a kiosk machine. server just called out number and I picked up. Standard boba shop. Menu had a lot of options I had not seen before. Worth a second visit.

    I got the jasmine apple milk tea with white boba and it was a little bitter and the boba isn't the typical boba texture so it threw me off a little bit. But I really like the champaca milk tea a lot. I'm glad the cue is a lot better now but it does get busy

    Finally hopped on the Molly Tea 茉莉奶白 train quite literally. I took the Caltrain from SF down to San Mateo and made a beeline for the legendary tea shop upon arrival. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of lactose free options. Basically everything on the menu had some form of dairy, but I eventually settled for the pistachio coconut jasmine fresh brewed tea, which only had dairy in the pistachio foam top so not as bad as drinking an actual milk tea base. I popped a lactaid and hoped for the best. Not sure why Chinese boba shops fail to offer dairy alternative milks, but it's an on going point of frustration I have. Anyways, I digress. The tea was great, pistachio cloud foam top and all! I now get the hype. The tea is so good that you don't need to add any extra toppings. Molly Tea is definitely up there with other globally recognized favorites like Chi Cha San Chen 吃茶三千 and Hey Tea 喜茶.

    long lines, even on a weekday

    The big trick is to order ahead via the food delivery apps if you want to avoid the wait. The good news is even if you don't order ahead, the orders go by fairly quickly. Stopped by on a weekday afternoon and the wait was pretty long, but they took orders fairly quickly and all in probably took about 15-20 minutes. The tea is definitely strong and flavorful and they didn't have any boba/bubbles at the time. As far as tea quality goes, this place has some high quality tea, but also lacks the variety of sugary drinks that you might find at other boba shops. Part of their schtick is also the fact that you sip from extremely thin straws, like coffee stirrers. Overall, the staff was nice and they were able to get drinks out quickly. Just expect to wait a bit and also pay a higher price for just tea.

    If you are from Sacramento area: It is kind of like Jasmine Tea House in Davis, CA, except you have to pay parking and it's only takeout with some benches outside. The tea is strong / leaning towards a little bitter side. Very fragrant. You can change to oat milk without extra charge. I went at weekend during lunch time but the wait wasn't that long. Very popular place.

    Ordered ahead. Always long line. Cool position in the walking alley with all cultural events. Nice tables outsides. Street art mural. Vibrant Ambience Recommended. Very nice tea cream

    It was my first time tying Molly Tea. I ordered through Door Dash for pick up as there was a line to order on a Sunday evening. The estimated wait time was about 20 minutes but it was ready a few minutes earlier. Ordered the jasmine milk tea with 30% sugar. I think next time if I were to order it again I'd go for 50%. It's good but I still prefer Happy Lemon's jasmine MT. It just wasn't as floral. I also ordered the Snowy Peach Oolong also at 30% sugar. It comes with whip cream and crunchy pecans sprinkled on top. I really like the pecans in the drink. I did not like the coffee stirrers used as straws. Not as enjoyable as a regular straw.

    Premium Jasmine Matcha and Premium Jasmine Milk Tea

    Finally got to try Molly Tea for the first time recently. The shop itself is small so it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place. I ordered a Premium Jasmine Matcha. The jasmine was fragrant and delicious. The matcha cheese added a nice creaminess to the drink without overpowering the jasmine. It was a nice combination, and I really enjoyed the drink. I love jasmine and this being my first time, I had to get a jasmine drink. However, I would love to try one of their other tea drinks next time.

    Not worth it or tasty in my books, sorry lol. I have given them tries to like it but I just cannot, it's all hype and trend imo. The tea flavor is so light, very weak tasting. I'm always disappointed. You can't taste much. The floral scent is not really coming through, even though the store is fragrant smelling. The camellia matcha just tasted like a matcha drink on the bitter side. The premium jasmine milk tea tasted like very watery milk with faint jasmine flavor. So bland. For the taste it's not worth $7. soo sad :(

    If you like tea, this is the place for you. The tea is high quality and very strong compared to the milk flavor or sweetness. I enjoy the customization options; some places have less granular sweetness selections. I ordered ahead online, which went well, fast pickup. The shop itself is whatever, typical boba shop.

    Ok I finally understood why this place always has a line. I pre ordered the coconut drink with pistachio foam and sago pearls per Claude's recommendation and I was not disappointed. This isn't your regular boba spot and in fact you can't get regular boba as an add on - only the transparent, bursting kind is available. It was a very hot day and this was the perfect drink to quench my thirst. I didn't know too much about the difference between the other types of teas but I'll be back to try more.

    Finallllly got to try Molly Tea after waiting for the lines to die down from the grand opening so I'm not waiting 45 minutes for a boba Short-version: I realllly liked the Camellia Oolong milk tea :) We had sago in it but yeah, it's such a unique (in a good way) treat with tasteful floral notes that makes every sip sing. The sago was beautifully done as well (as someone who overly loves boba haha) - and would 100% recommend this drink (and Molly Tea) to be such a standout than your everyday boba. Really can't wait to come back!

    Lately, they've added peach oolong tea. In the first few times I've came there, there wasn't that drink, but now it's a bit better.

The taro flavor was mild and leaned more sweet than rich or earthy. I was hoping for a stronger, more natural taro taste, but it felt somewhat diluted once everything was mixed together. Texture wise, it was okay, though the "tornado" swirl didn't really add much beyond presentation. Service was fine and the shop itself is clean and cute, which makes it a decent spot to stop by if you're already in the area. Overall, not bad, but not memorable either. I might try a different drink next time, but the Taro Tornado alone wouldn't bring me back.
